STATE OFFICIAL ATTACKS WOMAN STATE OFFICIAL ATTACKS WOMAN Delaware Scene of Brutal Attack on Colored Woman by White Man. Facts Before Governor State Recently Hung Colored Man and Used Militia to Disperse Mob. New York, March 26.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Ave., has addressed letters to the Governor and the Secretary of State of Delaware inquiring why no action has been taken to prosecute a white man who on Thursday, February 25, attacked a colored woman, a sworn affidavit stating the facts having been submitted to the Attorney General of the State. Delaware is the state in which a colored man was publicly hanged in the Georgetown jail yard on February 26, men, women and children viewing the body, after the militia had repulsed a crowd at his trial by hurling tear gas bombs at the mob. Wife Struggles. The affdavit made out by the colored woman attacked, states that George Elzzey, a state automobile inspector, entered the premises of a colored man named Purnell at Seaford, Delaware, and having asked Mr. Purnell's wife to accompany him to the barn, there attempted to attack her, tearing her clothes and placing his hand over her mouth, when she struggled and screamed. The local Squire declined to issue a warrant for the white automobile inspector when complaint was made and when Mr. Purnell visited the State Attorney General in Wilmington, the Attorney General referred the matter back to the local deputy, there being no result. There upon the N. A. A. C. P. wrote Governor Robert P. Robinson of Delaware placing before him the facts and saving: "We are respectfully requesting that the State of Delaware take such action as rests within its power to see that this man is brought to justice. We would respectfully call to your attention the fact that in the State of Delaware recently, troops were called to protect a Negro accused of a similar crime when the perpetrator was a Negro and he was convicted and executed with all dispatch. The country at large, and colored people in particular, will naturally be anxious to see what the State of Delaware will do when the victim is a respectable colored woman and the attacker a white man." Facts Denied. The N. A. A. C. P. communication was referred by the Delaware Governor to S. D. Townsend, Jr., Secretary of State, who wrote the N. A. A. C. P. that the State Attorney Gen.

Murdered Man Located Near Liquor Still Murdered Man Located Near Liquor Still (Preston News Service) Norlina, N. C., March 26.—Deputy Sheriff R. O. Snipes received information that there was a still in Fork township, Warren county. Going to the spot as described to him early Monday morning, he not only found a still, but a dead man who was identified as George Dale of that neighborhood. Evidence showed that a run had just been made a few hours previously, but no liquor was found. Snow being on the ground, the trail led to another man's house in the vicinity who was immediately placed under arrest. This man implicated two others who were also arrested. Coroner Ed Porter was called and held an inquest. Upon examination of the dead man's body Dr. G. H. Macon, county physician, testified that in his opinion he met death from a blow on the head. The position of the body in the branch near the still where it was found would indicate that the body had been dragged there after death. N. A. A. C. P.

PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1926 Local Business Association Leader Pleads for More Co-operation for the Economic Progress of Our People. (Preston News Service) Louisville, Ky., March 26.—The Louisville Business Men's Association held its annual "Good Will" meeting at Calvary Baptist Church Sunday afternoon in the presence of a large audience, and from every point of view it was a decided success. In regard to the good fellowship, the high points made by the speakers, and the good impression made, the promoters of the meeting have every reason to be proud of their efforts. I. Willis Cole, president of the association and one of the National Vice-Presidents of the National Negro Business League, presided. His timely remarks at the beginning of the meeting put the audience in just the mood to enjoy the rest of the program and to sense in a very positive way the import of the occasion. The principal address was made by J. R. Ray, vice-president of the First Standard Bank. In a unique introduction in which he delineated the Master's compassion for the multitudes, Mr. Ray traced somewhat in detail the origin and development of the local business association, and the commendable strides Louisville Negroes have made in business in the last few years to the sympathetic spirit of the group of men comprising the association in relation to the needs and possibilities of the large racial group in Louisville. In pleading for more co-operation for the economic progress of our people in Louisville, Mr. Ray pointed out the fact that of the $10,000,000 spent annually by Louisville Negroes for food, shelter, clothing and household furnishings, over $9,000,000 are spent with white merchants. Short talks which were well received because of their timeliness, were made by Prof. A. E. Meyseek, C. P. Hughes, president of the Domestic Life Insurance Company; Dr. R. L. White, druggist; Frank Willis, contracting painter; L. J. Pollard, stock broker; Samuel Plato, architect and contractor; Dr. C. H. Parrish, and Mesdames J. E. Smith and P. B. Ballard. Beautiful music was rendered by the Calvary Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Essie Dortch Mack, and pleasing solos sung by Mrs. Addie Duff and Prof. H. B. Britt. Beauty Parlor Installs New Wave Machine Beauty Parlor Installs New Wave Machine In order to maintain a high standard in first-class beauty work for her clientele, Mrs. Gertrude Moore, who operates the Gertrude Beauty Parlor, 3757 Fourth Ave., has installed the finest of permanent waving machines and is the second race woman to install one in the Northwest. A permanent wave for bobbed hair is more satisfactory than a marcel and does not necessitate frequent visits to the hairdresser. Consequently the busy woman of today who wears bobbed hair is always well groomed and does not have to devote much time to her coiffure. Besides operating a first-class beauty parlor, Mrs. Moore conducts a school from which a number of efficient operators have graduated, among whom are Mrs. Bessie Ratliff and Miss Fay Thompson. STUDENTS GRADUATE AT ANNUAL COMMENCEMENT The Board of Religious Education, of which Mr. O. C. Hall is a member, and the faculty of the Community Training School Association, held their eighth annual Commencement at the House of Hope church, St. Paul, Friday night, at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Maude Brooks and Mrs. Sara M. Warren were presented with diplomas for a three-year course. FUNERAL RITES HELD FOR BISHOP Rt. Rev. Benjamin Franklin Lee Prominent as Editor, Author and Educator. Buried At Wilberforce Military Guard in Charge of Body When Laid in State at Auditorium. (Preston News Service) Wilberforce, Ohio, March 26—The funeral services for the Rt. Rev. Benjamin Franklin Lee, for many years a prominent Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, at one time President of Wilberforce University and Chief Editor of the Christian Recorder, the oldest paper published by colored church denominations, as well as an author and educator, were held Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the Auditorium of Galloway Hall. At ten o'clock the pallbearers, Rev George F. David, Lexington, Ky.; Rev. J. C. Beckett, Philadelphia; Rev. E. A. Clarke, former instructor of the university, now of Cleveland; Rev. E. B. Thort, Harrodsburg, Va.; Mr. Chas. S. Smith and Mr. William Hunnicutt of the C. N. I. Department, and the honorary pallbearers, Press. Gilbert H. Jones, Dean Geo. F. Woodson, Supt. R. C. Bundy, Dr. Geo. Henderson, Profs. C. H. Johnson, Norwood Shields and Geo. T. Simpson, also student representatives from the several educational departments and Payne Theological Seminary, escorted the remains from the late residence of the deceased to the Auditorium to lay in state. A military guard, under command of Col. John Greene, was in charge. The oak casket, covered with a heavy blanket of flowers and beautiful floral designs from the family, General Faculty of the school, student body, fraternities and different church organizations, was placed in front of the rostrum where citizens and friends from abroad viewed the remains. Bishop J. Albert Johnson, Baltimore; Bishop W. H. Heard, Philadelphia; Bishop A. L. Gaines, Chicago; Bishop I. N. Ross, Washington, D. C.; Bishop R. C. Ransom, Nashville, Tenn., and Bishop J. H. Jones were present to pay their respect to their co-worker, many of whom had served their church for many years. The following General Officers were also present: Prof. John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary, Washington, D. C.; Rev. J. G. Robinson, editor of the A. M. E. Church Review, and Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder, (Continued on page 4) CONFIDENCED IN OLD FRAUD GAME "Found Pocketbook Game" Cost Victim $41.75 in Money, $75 in Goods. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., March 26.—Mrs. Nellie Jones lost her "cash in hand," jewelry and cutlery in the old "found pocketbook game," which two men successfully worked on her Friday afternoon. According to her story to the police, the woman was engaged in a conversation with a man on Fourteenth street, who was joined by another with the announcement he had just found a pocketbook containing $700. The newer of the strangers expressed a willingness to share with Mrs. Jones and the man with whom she was talking. In order to get a one-third equity in the purse, Mrs. Jones was to produce an amount of cash sufficiently large to assist in making the change. All she had in her possession was $41.75, so she escorted them to her home, turning over jewelry valued at $75 and table cutlery. She was directed to wait for the men in a park near Seventeenth and D streets and the woman would be there yet if her faith in the promise had not exploded. Largest Crowd In History Sees Gorgeous Style Revue, March 22 Ministers Present Strong Plea To President Coolidge Display of Askin-Marine Shows Newest Spring, Summer Fashions; Wedding, Dancing Complete Event. The largest crowd in the history of the South Side auditorium witnessed the sixth semi-annual style revue and ball given by the Askin-Marine Co., 338 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, Monday evening, March 22. Settings and fixtures for the event received more than passing attention. Huge pedestal baskets of spring flowers were arranged at intervals along the promenade on the ballroom floor. As each model appeared on the stage, a spotlight brought out every detail and color shade of her costume. Endless Modes. Trim tailored suits, accompanied by chic felts, visca braid and flower-trimmed hats, are to be the thing this spring. Sport wear included jaunty short coats and cheek skirts, jersey and tub silk dresses, and plaid coats with fur collars. Swagger sticks will be quite correct for sport wear. Bathing costumes in bright orange, purple and blue were especially attractive. Afternoon dresses of satin, crepe, and silk, and summer frocks of silk in huge floral patterns were shown to advantage. With the latter, picture hats with velvet streamers will be worn. Pastel shades figured in the party and evening gowns. Booker Jones and Kelley Stone wore correct attire for men and boys. A spring wedding completed the revenue with Aileen Moore as the bride, and Booker Jones as the groom. Mrs. Lubelle Sisson was acclaimed the most popular model and received a $25 merchandise award from the Askin-Marine Co. Specialty numbers were given by Miss Sataras Hammond, Leroy Hammond and Kelley Stone. Clarence Johnson's orchestra furnished the music for dancing. Mrs. Ruth Walker directed the revue. All of the merchandise shown came direct from New York, and was fitted upon the models by modistes from the company. W. R. McKinnon, manager, attributed the phenomenal success of the affair to The St. Paul Echo which was used as the major medium for advertising the revue and giving it publicity. Rising Chosen to Speak at Mid-Week "Y" Service Rev. L. H. Rising, pastor of the St. Anthony Park M. E. church, will speak at the midweek service to be held at the Y. W. C. A. Branch Tuesday, March 30, at 10:30 A. M. This is the first attempt the branch has made to have Lenten services. Rev. Rising conducted the Ramsey County Teachers' Training school for one semester, and is one of the foremost ministers of the city. A large attendance is urged for this meeting. Coolidge Agrees to Examine Memorial Left by National Ministerial Alliance of All Negro Denominations. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., March 26. Measures to stop lynching and for enforcement of all portions of the Constitution were requested of President Coolidge by a delegation of ministers representing the National Ministerial Alliance, composed of all the Negro denominations of the country. Mr. Coolidge agreed to examine a memorial left for his attention. The delegation told the President that depriving Negroes of the franchise in the Southern States and (Continued on page 3) Proprietor of Newly Opened Beauty Parlor at Chatsworth, Rondo [Image of a young woman with dark hair and a light-colored shirt.

SWEET'S TRIAL RESUMES APRIL DR. SWEET'S TRIAL RESUMES APRIL Defense Council Demands Separate Trial tor the Defendants. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) It was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at its National Office that the Detroit mob violence cases growing out of the attack last September by a mob upon the home of Dr. Ossian H. Sweet at Detroit will be retrained, the new trials commencing on April 1. This information comes to the N. A. A. C. P. from its chief counsel, Clarence Darrow. Mr. Darrow and Walter White spent two days in Detroit this week making final arrangements for the new trials. Robert M. Toms, County Prosecutor, has announced that Henry Sweet, younger brother of Dr. O. H. Sweet, will first be tried. Separate trials have been demanded by defense counsel. Though this will make the trials much longer, it is felt that this procedure will more surely result in fairer trials for all the eleven defendants. Colored and white people all over the country will watch closely the new trials. The fair treatment of the case by the press, especially by the white newspapers of Detroit, has changed sentiment somewhat towards the defendants, but the opposition of the Klan has been increased because of the magnificent defense made in the first trial, which, it will be remembered, resulted in a jury disagreement. Double Funeral Held for Mother and Son Cincinnati, Ohio, March 26. —Funeral services for Gilbert Adams, aged 54, a coal dealer, and his aged mother, Mrs. Jane Adams, 79, both of 436 Richmond St., were held in the Antioch Baptist Church Thursday afternoon. Mr. Adams died Saturday evening and was followed in death by his mother Monday afternoon. Mrs. Adams is survived by her husband, Rev. R. S.

PRICE FIVE CENTS ISRAEL GOLPHIN FLEES FROM CITY ISRAEL GOLPHIN FLEES FROM CITY Local Barber, Prominent in Civic Work, Target of Charge by Wife's Sister. Penalty 7 to 30 Years Wife Refuses to Give Information; Rigid Police Search Under Way. Accused of carnal knowledge of the 13-year-old sister of his wife, Israel Golphin, Kent St. at Charles, left the city Sunday morning, temporarily escaping possible police apprehension. A warrant has been sworn out for the arrest of the man, and a rigid police search has been instigated. Assistant Pastor. Golphin has been in the city for approximately five years. He is a butcher and a barber by trade, and has formerly been employed at the Armour packing plant in South St. Paul. He is the owner and proprietor of a barbershop at the corner of Rondo and Arundet streets. For some years he has been associated with the St. Paul Baptist church, and is the understudy minister of the church. He has been a hard and conscientious worker in church circles. **Recently Married.** Last April, shortly after the death of his wife, Golphin married a 17-year-old resident of the city, and since that time he has been active in church work. The girl who has brought the charges against Golphin is being cared for by one of the county child welfare associations. **Penalty Cited.** Concerning the affair, Mrs. Golphin refused Thursday afternoon to give out any statement for publication. The penalty for the offense is imprisonment for not less than seven and not more than thirty years. Mr. Golphin has not as yet been located. RACE MEN ENGAGE IN NEW BUSINESS RACE MEN ENGAGE IN NEW BUSINESS New Bureau to Have Office and Inspectors in All Large Cities. (Preston News Service) New York, N. Y., March 26.—The Domestic Credit Bureau, Inc., a company specializing in confidential reports for insurance companies and credit departments on Colored applicants, was incorporated last week under the laws of the State of New York. This company, with general offices at 2289 Seventh Ave., New York City, is the first Colored organization to enter the field. J. Leo Chestnut, former newspaper man, is president and general manager. The new bureau is doing business on a national scale, already having inspectors in 12 large cities, with sub-branches in five of these. Other sub-branches, particularly in the south and southwest, are to be opened soon, thus guaranteeing rapid service in field from whence requests for service have come. The president of the company in a brief statement to the press said: "We feel that the Domestic Credit Bureau gives a service and fills a need that no other bureau now in existence can. Then again it is wholly owned and operated by our racial group. "Furthermore, we believe that the high-grade colored inspectors, which it employs, guided as they are by careful supervision, can give ample, exact and accurate information such as insurance companies and business organizations sorely need. "Judging by the way in which the companies are responding to the Domestic Credit Bureau's announcement of opening for business, we cannot but feel that it is giving a type of inspection not furnished by services previously used."

In the black American is grasping for the fruits of materialism, place in the sun among the idolatry and the mass of Negroes. It is come when Negroes themselves phylogy of their white neighbors. Our spirit should not be thrown out removed from the immediate force. In the world of today, the spirit win respect, rights, honor, pride, there been a yielding attitude, so little has there been evinced and demand. The general theme has session. And that attitude has after encroachment upon what seemed rights. This far northern city where we are eating places which will flatly there are hostelries which will not are lodgings; there are stores wired patronage;" and the list of actions are the result of the attributed for years—a passive, no teaching discrimination. That off as though it were a poison us us the strength or the man against hurtful practices. We have to do away with it. Let us demand for rights, not sheepishly or open discrimination. Let us among men, but let us have deprivescence. Passivity in Negroes is no longer a virtue. The white world which surrounds the black American is grasping, pushing, fighting and shouting for the fruits of materialism. It has raised achievement to a place in the sun among the idols, and has bruised its own lower element and the mass of Negroes in its headlong worship of it. The time has come when Negroes themselves should master a bit of the philosophy of their white neighbors. Good nature, kindliness, the friendly spirit should not be thrown over as useless, but they should be removed from the immediate foreground of interracial relations. In the world of today, the spirit which will conquer, which will win respect,' rights, honor, praise, is the spirit militant. Too long has there been a yielding attitude on the part of the Negro mass. Too little has there been evinced the spirit of conquest and of demand. The general theme has been retraction rather than aggression. And that attitude has been the cause of greater and greater encroachment upon what we are pleased to term our unattained rights. In St. Paul, this far northern city where we boast of our freedom, there are eating places which will flatly refuse service to colored patrons; there are hostelries which will not admit Negroes who wish to secure lodgings; there are stores which "are known to discourage colored patronage;" and the list could be continued ad infinitum. Those conditions are the result of the attitude which St. Paulites have exhibited for years—a passive, non-resisting, harmful view of encroaching discrimination. That type of thinking should be thrown off as though it were a poisonous drug. It is a drug, sapping from us the strength or the manhood necessary to protest strongly against hurtful practices. Let us resolve to do away with it. Let us stand firm and clear-eyed in our demand for rights, not sheepish and sloven in our acquiescence to veiled or open discrimination. Let us be men fighting and standing among men, but let us have done with pretense and shameful acquiescence. RESIDENTIAL EXPANSION the Sweet trial is to open, and on country over will be watching t because it is the exemplification session among Negroes is meeting outcomes of the Sweet trial Once more the Sweet trial is to open, and once more Negroes and whites the country over will be watching the court arena at Detroit. Significant because it is the exemplification of the spirit which residential expansion among Negroes is meeting in large cities the country over, the outcome of the Sweet case should be of particular interest to anyone who has been noticing closely the fight by Negroes for even an approximation of fair legal treatment. In Washington, there was the Curtis case; in Detroit there are the Sweets; in Kansas City, bombings, the last not more than a month ago, are meeting the rapid expansion of the colored residence district. The question is the ultimate outcome. Sooner or later every northern city must meet the problem. St. Paul had its first skirmish with it last year. The facts in all the cases are nearly identical: a hugely increased number of Negroes cannot live where a handful had lived before the northward migrations, and the result must be expansion. As soon as white residents and city officials digest the idea that Negroes do not want to encroach upon white neighborhoods merely for the sake of encroaching, but that they want only the sanitary living conditions which other groups are accorded, just so soon will a sane solution for the expansion bugaboo be pulled from the fire of public opinion. "Intelligent" white residents of Lexington, Ky., recently paid $2.00 per head to witness the hanging of a convicted Negro. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing," financially speaking. It is stupid for men to rave and rant about injustice and oppression and then to leave unused the most powerful weapons known to the age—organization and buying power. Now that an attempt is being made in the New York Legislature to bar mixed marriages between whites and blacks, young millionaire social sportsmen can prepare for a season of legalized open hunting—that is, if the bill passes. The President of Indiana University says that the time will soon come when the holding of a high school diploma will be a requirement to obtain a marriage license. Gee Whiz!

Talk about putting A. N. Marquis & Company in the shade! Who is who? Countere P. Cullen. $2.00 net. Harper and brothers, New York and London, 1925. William Dean Howells is reputed as having said that Paul Lawrence Dunbar was "the only man of American Civilization that felt Negro life aesthetically and expressed it lyrically." Dunbar was twenty-four when he published his first volume, and now comes another Negro youth slightly younger than he was with perhaps a greater aesthetic conception, and surely a greater aesthetic conception, and surely a greater lyrical execution. Countere Cullen is the youngster, and he is now a twenty-year-old student at New York University. Besides winning the Amy Spingarn Prize, the Yale Younger Poets' Contest, and a host of smaller awards too numerous to mention, he has completed one degree at the University, has been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and is now taking his Master's degree at the same school. Mr. Cullen's success was immediate upon the publishing of his first book, "Color," . . . like Edna St. Vincent Millay he sprang into prominence over night, and we are inclined to believe that even greater things can be expected of this man when he has tempered his youthful spirit with the wisdom of maturity. Mr. Cullen has unlimited versatility it seems, and he is able to write upon any subject from titles pertaining to the defense of his down-trodden race to light capricious love songs. Lord, being dark, forewilled to that despair To those of us who have followed Mr. Cullen since his first poems appeared in periodicals it seems strange that some of his earliest works (and some of the best) have been omitted from this collection. We searched in vain to find his delightful "Spark" and a few others which we thought surely were worthy of a place in his first book. The main fault we find in "Color" is not in the poetry itself, but that it seems to be poorly edited. There is a mal-arrangement, so to speak, and it is fairly safe to say that the book could have been far more enjoyable had little more care been exercised on the format. All in all we may safely say that we have in Countee Cullen a man who has taken up the work of Paul Dunbar, where the latter left off, but he is approaching the situation from a different angl. He "feels Negro life aesthetically and expresses it lyrically;" he feels life itself keenly and expresses it philosophically. He is a youth and has the short-comings of a youth; he is conceited and ambiguous, but he is a poet, and an invigorating, interesting, delightful and understanding poet. Carl H.

This request, of course, does not imply any question of Attorney General Southerland's diligence. On the other hand, this matter was reported to us by citizens of Delaware whom we have every reason to believe are thoroughly reliable.

SANDWICHES The season, the occasion and the taste of those served will vary the sandwiches which one will care to offer. Autumn Sand- wiches. — Chop fine walnut or but- ternut meats, add an equal measure of finely chopped olives and mix with one can of notted ham. If needed, molsten with a little salad dressing. Spread on slices of rye, graham or white bread with pimento butter. Serve with coffee. Black walnut meats are rich and full of flavor and make a delicious change from the milder English walnuts. Pimento Butter—Cream one-half cupful of butter. Drain and dry well three red peppers from a can, put through sleeve and gradually work the pulp into the butter; season with salt. Spanish Onion Sandwiches—Cut white bread very thin and trim off the crusts. Chop fine one Spanish or Bermuda onion. Mix well with mayonnaise to the consistency to spread. Use as a filling for sandwich bread that has been spread with pimento butter. These sandwiches are especially good with potato salad or string-bean salad. Walderf Sandwiches—Mix with one cupful of finely chopped celery, add one cupful of finely chopped Jonathan apples, then add one cupful of finely sliced, blanched almonds. Mix all together and add enough mayonnaise to molten. Spread on thinly sliced nut bread that has been spread with mayonnaise. Spread the mixture on one slice, cover with a heart leaf of lettuce and put together in pairs. Serve cut into triangles. Serve with coffee. Toasted Jam Sandwiches—Cut white or raisin bread into thin slices, trim the crusts and spread half the slices with raspberry jam.

Press Service) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received word from Harry E. Davis of Cleveland and member of its Board of Directors, that the private showing by the Ku Klux Klan of the "Birth of a Nation" film has been barred in the state of Ohio, according to a ruling of the State Attorney General. Public showing of the film had previously been barred by the State Board of Motion Picture Censors and the Attorney General held that private showings would be circumventing the law. The State Supreme Court some months ago upheld the barring of the picture.

AN OUTLOOK On a general check-up of activities in winter sports and athletics about the Twin Cities, we find that we have nothing to boast of, as there have been no great achievements accomplished by any of our athletic groups in whole or part, but it can be said that a better feeling and a growing interest has been created at least. The Phyllis Wheatley house of Minneapolis will no doubt have the credit of being the most active organization, and this due to the fact that they have well established headquarters equipped to serve their purpose. The Royal athletics, the St. Paul organization, has been handicapped because of it inability to secure a permanent place and to develop the interest that could have been established had it been their success to do so. However as the season for winter sports closes plans are being made whereby the interest may be kept alive and the baseball fans of the Twin Cities be treated with a chance for lots of "razing" and "ballyhooing" the different "bonehead" plays and errors that add thrill and some times sore spots to occupy the leisure moments of baseball players and fans of the Twin Cities. It seems quite likely that there will be about three colored teams which will just use up all the local material that we have, and will no doubt cause a lot of dickering, trading and competitive playing among the different managers and players, all of which serves as a great stimulant to the fans.

FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR PROMINENT BISHOP (Continued from page 1) botn of Philadelphia. Ministers Attend. More than two hundred ministers who had known Bishop Lee and served under him while an active Bishop, came from the east, west, south and north to pay a last tribute of respect to the churchman whom they had known and held in the highest esteem for more than half a century for his great wealth of integrity, his great love of truth and his deep sense of justice to all men. Bishop J. Albert Johnson presided during the funeral services. The choir of the school, under the direction of Mr. Norton Dennis, sang "Abide With Me." Bishop I. N. Ross offered prayer. The scripture lesson was read by Bishop W. H. Heard, reading appropriate verses from the 15th chapter of the First Corinthians. Mr. W. A. Anderson read the obituary. Bishop R. C. Ransom, an alumnus of the college and a student while Bishop Lee served as president, delivered the sermon. Prof. John R. Hawkins read resolutions from the faculty, students, and letters and telegrams from friends who were not able to attend the funeral. Telegrams were also read from Bishop Sampson Brooks, in charge of the work in Liberia, and Bishop John A. Gregg, located in Cape Town, South Africa. At the conclusion of the services Bishop J. H. Jones pronounced the benediction and the interment took place in Cherry Grove Cemetery. FOR HIGH-GRADE TOILET ARTICLES CALL MRS. E. HUDSON DALE 4556 479 ST. ANTHONY AVE.. GLENWOOD HARD COAL THREE PHONES Garfield 7501—7502—7503 S. BRAND Rice and University CHURCH DAMAGED BY FIRE (Freston News Service) Texarkana, March 26—The Oak Street Baptist Church suffered a fire damage of about $1,000 at about 1 o'clock Monday morning, the loss being covered by insurance. The fire originated in a small residence adjoining the church, and but for prompt action of the fire departments the church, which is valued at $40,-000 and is the finest edifice in the city, would have been destroyed. The church was organized about 35 years ago. The Rev. Henry M. Edwards has been its pastor for the last 28 years. Varying Dialect of Nineteen hundred years ago, Julius Caesar, in describing Germany, called that part of the country inhabited by the lowland tribes Germany Inferior, or Lower Germany, and the more elevated regions to the south and southeastward, Germany Superior. In time the linguistic designations of Low Dutch and High Dutch, or Low German and High German, came to be applied to the dialects used by the inhabitants of these two regions. There are, in fact, more than a score of distinguishable dialects in the speech of the common people of the Teutonic or German race. These dialects shade into one another, the difference increasing with distance, traveling on a line from the highlands of southern and southeastern Germany toward and through the lowlands bordering on the North sea and the lower Elbe. The Low Dutch language comprehends several dialects of the north of Germany as well as the Frisian, Dutch and Flemish tongues. The High German dialects are usually classified in two divisions, as South German and Middle German. But since the time of Luther, who translated the Bible into new High German (in distinction from the cruder literary language of the antecedent old High German), all these dialectic differences have been dying out, and are now perpetuated only in the spoken language of the peasantry. Of the Low Dutch languages, the old Frisian is practically extinct; but Dutch remains as the national language of the Netherlands, and has a literature of its own, and Flemish is waging a determined fight to keep itself from being submerged by the French language in Belgium. Matter of Hypnosis The following episode took place in a boys' class in the primary department of the Sunday school of the Second Presbyterian church the Sunday following the week when Thurston had been in the city: Each Sunday morning Miss Eleanor Kirby, who has been superintendent of the department for more than fifty years, tells a Bible story to the entire department, which is reviewed by the class teacher the following Sunday as a part of the lesson.
